After losing the use of her legs from a botched surgery on her ankle as a teenager, then suffering a spinal cord injury and becoming paralyzed from the waist down, from a car accident. Monique went on to becoming a cyclist and competing in the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, winning two silver medals. THEN tragedy struck again!, she crashed hard into a teammate, while training, and regained her ability to walk… wait what???
